Biography
Ereuthalion was born in 288 BC, and he came from a Greek aristocratic family. In 272 BC, he was promoted to command the Cast of Horus army in Diospolis, Upper Egypt, and he was sent to invade Kush after Kush declared war on Egypt. He conquered Ptolemais Theron and Meroe, crushing any Kushite resistance and subjecting the upper two-thirds of Ethiopia to Ptolemaic rule. After Ethiopia was pacified, Ereuthalion led his army into Cyrenaica to crush a secessionist uprising there.
